Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Overview
A trailer weighing 2400 lb is attached to a 2900 lb pickup truck by a ball-and-socket truck hitch at point \( D \).
### Diagram Explanation
This diagram shows the side view of a trailer and a pickup truck connected together. Key components and their positions are as follows:
- **Point P:** Represents the center of gravity of the trailer. It is marked with a vertical red arrow, indicating the trailer's weight force.
- **Point Q:** Represents the center of gravity of the pickup truck. It is marked with another vertical red arrow, indicating the truck's weight force.
- **Hitch at D:** This is where the trailer is attached to the truck.
### Measurement Distances
- **From wheel A to point P:** 2 ft
- **From P to wheel B:** 9 ft
- **Between wheels B and D:** 3 ft
- **From wheel D to Q:** 5 ft
- **From Q to wheel C:** 4 ft
### Objective
Determine the reactions at each of the six wheels when the truck and trailer are at rest.
- **The reaction at wheel A:** _____ lb
- **The reaction at wheel B:** _____ lb
- **The reaction at wheel C:** _____ lb
### Instructions
To solve this problem, you will calculate the vertical reactions at the wheels (A, B, C) caused by the static forces of the trailer and truck. Use principles from static equilibrium, accounting for the weights and distances between the points of interest.
